Bill Maher is a Democrat. However, he does at least take notice of the crap The Left does that's idiotic and tries to make them take notice.

He has pounded the absurdity of Cancel Culture and Political Correctness to his leftists friends and they just roll their eyes. But he's correct on how it makes things the Left are right on become a non-starter for so much of middle America. Not to mention how Democrats have absolutely abandoned the middle class.

I'll never forget Bill Maher claiming he was a libertarian for decades until he became embarrassed by libertarians laughing at him.
His policy for most of his life was WE NEED MORE GOVT!

He absolutely hates religious people so frick him


that's not entirely true. i've seen him show legitimate respect to people over their religious views even in his movie/documentaries to their faces. while does his fair share of smearing the "redneck idiot" sort of hardcore southern baptist types, i have seen him show some surprising qualities to people that aren't the "you're going to hell for everything you do" ilk.

Thoughts on Bill Maher from the Right


He's a worthless Liberal.

He whines about guns but lives in a mansion in Beverly Hills.

Maher is like every other “classical” liberal. They simply lack the ability to understand or concede that their stances lead, have led, and will always lead to the disasters that are socialism and communism.

Prog that thinks he is smarter than everyone else but resorted to penis comments during gun discussions now suddenly realizes he has been feeding a monster for several decades.

Maher is about as good as a liberal gets. He is bat shite crazy on climate change as he needs to have faith in something, but atleast he knows the difference in a women and chick with a dick.

I like Bill he's a talented guy and regardless if you disagree with someone on a few issues you should have a conversation with them and call out BS when you see it.

The quoted language may be the dumbest thing that I have read on this forum in months, and that is saying A LOT.

The American Left are as far from "anarchist" as it is possible to be without falling off the political spectrum/landscape.

The American Left is "authoritarian" to the core. They see "government" as the solution to almost every societal ill, whereas anarchists see "government" as the ANTITHESIS of a solution. They see "government" as BEING the problem.

Maher wanted Americans to suffer just so he could get rid of Trump.

He should never be forgiven for that. Yet people continue to wash his balls.

Reread again. You're agreeing with him while arguing with him.

Fify

Anarchy is not what left is doing. Controlled authoritarianism to bring down old paradigms of thought (like morality) is what the left is doing.

Bill Maher wears a suit to give the illusion of respect...he wants that to endure...the other stuff he's less excited about.

I respond that the Left is as far from "anarchist" as it is possible to be.

You assert that he and I are saying the same thing.

agreed. see my statement of i would rather a socialist like Dore be in charge than a statist like Biden.

i mean neither are my first pick at all, but i can usually find something in common with you if you're even just a tick below the line, left or right on the political compass. my disagreement with your politics overall tends to skew the more you go upwards.

The left doesnt know it, but they are supporting the manor system, with total control via biotech, digital currency, and thought policing. Equal poverty for all is the globalist definition of equity.

An entire planet of digitally controlled serfs.

They are certainly using anarchists. Do you disagree?

Anarchist are the militant arm of the new left which moved on from class struggle and onto other social ideas not constrained by politics.

I do disagree they are totally anarchist, but they are definitely courting the anarcho commie wing to do their dirty work.

For every one thing he says I agree with there are 3 that I disagree with. So he isn't someone who gets it and never will. Don't be fooled.

Bingo, its not socialism, its technocracy.



To flip society, the radical left will utilize any type of economy or government. The end result will be the same.
